Only in California, some might say, could you expect to find a vintage DC-3 transformed into a fund-raising tool/restaurant. But that’s just what visitors to Tomorrow’s Aviation Museum on the Compton Airport in Los Angeles will see when they stop in. With some assistance from American Airlines, a DC-3 fuselage found in a Nevada boneyard has been transformed into an eatery nicknamed the “DC-3 Gourmet Food Truck.” In a story, published on the AirlineGeeks, the site said, “The food truck’s livery features a similar polished aluminum livery donned by American’s flagship DC-3 in the 1940s, except that this one pays tribute to the City of Compton. The nose of the DC-3 food truck also features the words, Flagship Compton.”
